A few weeks ago, I was inspired to write this facebook post
and I feel today is a great day to share it again:
Careful what you wish for: I finally had
a minute to sit down and share, so here goes. You know from time to time you
look at someone else and think; "I wish I had her body, her money, her
education, her well behaved kids, her doting husband, her job, etc." Don't
lie, we can't see you, so be honest and own it. Well, here is the deal, you
don't get to wish for that one thing that someone else has and not take on the rest of her life too. Just because
she has the kitchen you want, did you know she is fighting breast cancer? Just
because she is in great shape, did you know that her oldest child was killed in
a car accident three years ago. Stop wanting what someone else has, because in
truth she has what she has and God has a path for her and He has a path for
you. You are on that path now, so stop wishing for someone else's life and
listen to what He has in store for you. No one else can live what you have
lived, feel what you feel, experience what you experience, love what you love,
do what you do. You will be fulfilled when you stop and live the life He has
planned for you. Someone was supposed to hear that and maybe it was just me.
But God wouldn't let it go, so I wrote it and now I'm done... So persistent
that guy Carry on!
Today, be thankful for what you have,
but why must that stop today? Tomorrow,
wake up and be thankful again. And the
day after that and the day after that… Instead of chasing a deal tomorrow on
Black Friday, chase Him instead and be thankful for what you have. I am often reminded of the quote I saw that
said, “What if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you thanked God for
today.”
Eating
tip for today – Eat first the foods that look whole, the way God designed them;
turkey, salad, corn, etc. Then have one
spoonful of any of the other foods you want to try. Last tip, walk away, you are full, walk away – it will be worth it.
